Like, she was the *first* social darwinist, the seed of 20th century eugenics movements began with her translation.
Darwin himself retracted her translation rights because she kept going off on tangents about racial superiority and the immorality of race mixing.
In my experience, the gays who were active in the gay rights movement support trans rights now.
The gays who stayed home and scolded the activists for stirring things up are the ones who are now trying to ditch trans people.
It's wild how "they're gonna let treatable people die to cut costs" was an argument against universal healthcare and now we have *no* universal healthcare *plus* the "death panels" they fearmongered about
Spooky cross stitch of a tiered layer cake in black, orange, and grey. There's a crescent moon, a bat, skulls, pumpkins, and ghosts. Next to the cross stitch is a gray and white cat.
Finished this cross stitch this evening!
People who get "information" degrees.
Starting July 1 there will be new limits on student loans for MLS students under the limited understanding of what fits as a "professional" degree.
This limit is going to further restrict access to the field.
I haven't seen anywhere near enough discussion of this (truthfully, none) by pro orgs. đź“š
There are currently 6 permanent full time history jobs in the whole UK. 500+ PhDs being produced a year - not all of whom will want to pursue an academic year but likely most, and of course years will stack up onto each other. What a sector.
An embroidery with tea and coffee labeled in Chinese.
Last week's assignment was to create a data set from your life, but Celine Heck took it a step further and embroidered it too! This is her caffeinated beverage intake for the week. Chinese was easier than Latin for embroidering the labels, a #MultilingualDH win on top of it all! #DHmakes
Yes, I agree, Microsoft should have an "A.I." (Abolish ICE) button in every app.
Wild to keep hearing anti-AI sentiment described as an "echo chamber" by people who pretend there's never been a coercive dogshit marketing campaign actively pissing people off about it for two years or any no-opt-out half-baked shovelware making everyone's PCs and phones worse
I'm going to be honest, when I saw a "Raw Egg Nationalist" was posting on infowars dot com, I assumed the Onion takeover was already complete and they were just running satire articles now

Saying "no man, you don't get to win this time" to evil people who have the power of the entire corrupt government behind them has to feel pretty fucking good
okay but why did surrey need a bespoke ad campaign to try and recruit world cup tourists to their specific municipality
it’s the same issue as McCallum’s “global cities” pitch: you’re fighting the biggest of uphill battles with Vancouver for ego purposes

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
From “The Simpsons” house genius John Swartzwelder, interviewed in The New Yorker by Mike Sacks
Wait, were people really using AI to make "fuck ice" music? I don't understand this world at all.
how is this literally happening in real life
I didn't realize how many songs called "Fuck ICE" got released this year.

At this point, it probably wont. Brilliant as it is, there are some things that aged INCREDIBLY poorly.

I wrote this skeet as a hypothetical and then 24 hours later đź«
This was shit we were fighting twenty years ago. More than that, actually.
Anyway, to bring this back to Magic, there's got to be a joke somewhere about how the Canadian/Australian/European printings of cards use metric power and toughness vs. the US ones which use US customary power and toughness.
648 WAFFLES 1 1/2 cups Purity Flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 cup sweet cream or 1 cup milk and 3 tablespoons melted butter 1 teaspoon salt 2 eggs Method:—1. Sift flour with baking powder and salt; add egg yolks and cream (or milk and butter). 2. Lastly, fold in beaten egg whites. 3. Heat both sides of waffle iron; put 1 tablespoon mixture in each compartment and brown on both sides. 4. Serve at once with powdered sugar, honey or maple syrup.
The 1917 and 1932 versions of the Purity I found on archive.org both say that 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon. The 1932 one does have a waffle recipe.
